Writing From the Soul - A Women's Writing Retreat
October 21-24, 2010
Atchison, Kansas, Sophia Center
Imagine gathering in a safe, quiet space with a group of vibrant women who have come to tend
their souls with creative ritual, songs, dialogue and words. You will share your weekend with
others who experience writing as an entrance to the deeper self. Take time to relax, reflect,
and rejuvenate through greater discovery and celebration of your direction and purpose in life.
Mary Kay Shanley, gifted author and teacher at the University of Iowa’s Summer Writing Festival, will
join Joyce in facilitating this wonderful gathering of women. To register, either contact Eleanor
Suther, OSB or go to the Sophia Center Website.

The Writers’ Group
The nine writers I meet with for two hours a month had their mettle tested with their latest assignment,
thanks to Thinking about Memoir by Abigail Thomas. Take any 10 years of your life, reduce that decade to
two pages [single-spaced, typed] with one sentence per line-and each sentence being three words long-not two, not four,
but three. You’ll discover there’s nowhere to hide and that you can’t include everything. But half of writing is
deciding what to leave out, right?
